The Monday Morning Memo

Quixote_1925_ArthurErnestBecher_780Don Quixote (1925) by Arthur Ernest Becher. From the collection of Roy and Pennie Williams

From Thomas Jefferson to Teddy Roosevelt to John Steinbeck, visionaries have always been attracted to Don Quixote’s pursuit of the impossible dream. Quixote’s Journey is the quest for a better tomorrow.

In Cervantes’ book, “Dulcinea” is just a common village girl named Aldonza Lorenzo who is never even aware that Quixote exists. Yet everything Quixote does is in her name and for her honor.

Dulcinea exists only in his mind.

By the way, “Don Quixote de La Mancha” doesn’t really exist either. He’s just a romantic named Alonso Quijano who dreams of purpose and adventure.

Business is nothing more than a search for purpose and adventure.

Every entrepreneur is Don Quixote. Wizard Academy is a school for entrepreneurs who have Quixote’s ability to see beauty that no one else can see.

And the courage to pursue their dreams.

Random Quote:

“Beyond noting the fact of his death, an obituary is unnecessary. Such men are reborn every day as new generations discover them. Steinbeck will live long because, like all great artists, he involved himself in the human condition… He was a writer of immense sensitivity in a man-shell of gruffness. The quality that distinguishes his work is an enormous compassion. He saw the nobility in a hobo, felt the sadness of seasons and believed that dogs could smile.”

- Ed Sheehan, The San Francisco Examiner and Chronicle, Jan. 26, 1969
